Confederate Camp Wyatt

This training camp was located about two miles north of Fort Fisher and also had a hospital and commissary according to North American forts.

The November 2009 issue of Our State had the Our State Quiz about North Carolina Military Camps. One of the questions was about this camp.

It was located in New Hanover County, about where Kure Beach is today. It was named for the first Confederate to be killed in battle, Henry Lawson Wyatt, at Bethel Church June 10, 1861.

See the earlier entry from this month on Wyatt (see Nov. 18th).
